화학 산업의 발전에 따라 관련 사고가 빈번하게 발생하고 있으며 그 가운데 화재·폭발 사고가 큰 비중을 차지하고 있다. 화재 · 폭발 사고를 방지하기 위해 인화성액체를 취급하는 장소 등은 관련 법령에 근거하여 한국산업표준(KS C IEC60079-10-1)에 따라 폭발위험장소를 구분하도록 하고 있다. 이는 인화성액체를 취급하는 연구실에도 동일하게 적용된다. 본 논문에서는 연구실에서 인화성액체가 누출되어 증발 풀(pool)을 형성하는 경우 한국산업표준에 따른 폭발위험장소 구분 절차의 적용성과 환기속도의 변화가 누출특성에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 연구실과 같은 장소는 한국산업표준에 따른 폭발위험장소 구분에 대한 기준적용이 어려우며, 별도의 안전대책이 마련되어야 함을 알 수 있었다.

화학공장에서 발생가능한 사고 피해범위의 예측은 주변 건축물이나 공장간 위치설정 및 배치(layout) 또는 안전장치의 배치 등에 기본자료로 활용될 수 있다. 또한, 사고 후의 결과를 예측할 수 있기 때문에 사고발생에 대한 최적의 비상조치계획을 수립할 수 있어 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 BTX(Benzene, Toluene, Xylene) 누출에 의한 화재 및 폭발의 영향을 평가하고자 하였다. 영향평가의 모사를 위해 Visual basic 언어를 사용한 프로그램을 개발하였다. 기상조건을 고려하여 실제 사고사례에 적용성을 높였다. 화재의 경우에는 Pool fire로 인한 피해를 예측할 수 있도록 하였고, 폭발의 경우에는 UVCE(Unconfined Vapor Cloud Explosion)로 인한 손실을 예측할 수 있도록 하였다. 화재는 화염에서 나오는 복사열을 피해 정도를 예측하는 기준으로 사용하였고, 폭발은 과압을 기준으로 하였다. 각각의 결과를 이용해 probit 분석을 할 수 있도록 하였다. 폭발모델의 경우, 누출된 벤젠에 대하여 사고점으로부터 20 m이내 지점은 심각한 구조적 손상을 보였으며, 60 m이상의 지점에서는 경미한 피해가 추정됨을 알 수 있었다. 화재모델의 경우, 누출되어 방유제에 고여있는 벤젠에 대하여 복사열로 인한 직접적인 피해는 여름보다는 겨울에 크며, 내륙에 위치한 도시일수록 큰 경향을 보이는 것으로 추정할 수 있었다. 복사열로 인한 피해가 $90\%$일 때 40m 이상에서는 직접적인 영향이 없는 것으로 추정할 수 있었다.

The mechanism of various spherical particles formation from wide range of tribo-systerns is suggested and deduced by the action of micro-explosion on the basis of the thermally-activated wear theory, in which the flash temperature at contact could be reached clearly upto the material molten temperature due to the secondary activation energy from the exothermic reactions involving lubricant thermo-decomposition, metals oxidation, hydrogen reactions and other possible complex thermo-reactions at the contacts. Various shapes of spherical particles generated from the tribosystem can be explained by the toroidal action of micro-explosion accompanied with the complex thermo-chemical reactions at the contact surfaces or sub-surfaces.

A new high-energy organic potassium salt, 2-(dinitromethylene)-1,3-diazepentane potassium salt K(DNDZ), was synthesized by reacting of 2-(dinitromethylene)-1,3-diazepentane (DNDZ) and potassium hydroxide. The thermal behavior and non-isothermal decomposition kinetics of K(DNDZ) were studied with DSC, TG/DTG methods. The kinetic equation is $\frac{d{\alpha}}{dT}$ = $\frac{10^{13.92}}{\beta}$3(1 - $\alpha$[-ln(1 - $\alpha$)]$^{\frac{2}{3}}$ exp(-1.52 ${\times}\;10^5$ / RT). The critical temperature of thermal explosion of K(DNDZ) is $208.63\;{^{\circ}C}$. The specific heat capacity of K(DNDZ) was determined with a micro-DSC method, and the molar heat capacity is 224.63 J $mol^{-1}\;K^{-1}$ at 298.15 K. Adiabatic time-to-explosion of K(DNDZ) obtained is 157.96 s.

The steam explosion-chemical pretreatment is a more effective wood pretreatment technique than the conventional physical pretreatment by accelerating reactions during the pretreatment process. In this paper, two-stage pretreatment processes of hardwood were investigated for its enzymatic hydrolysis and the succinic acid yield from the pretreated solid. The first stage pretreatment was performed under conditions of low severity to optimize the amount of solid recovery. In the second stage pretreatment washed solid material from the first stage pretreatment step was impregnated again with chemical (alkaline or chlorine-based chemicals) to remove a portion of the lignin, and to make the cellulose more accessible to enzymatic attack. The effects of pretreatment were assessed by enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation, after the two stage pretreatments. Maximum succinic acid yield (16.1 g $L^{-1}$ and 77.5%) was obtained when the two stage pretreatments were performed at steam explosion -3% KOH.

The effect of steam explosion coupled with alkali (1% sodium hydroxide, 1% potassium hydroxide and 15% sodium carbonate) or organosolv solvent (85% methanol, 70% ethanol and dioxane) on the production of sugar, changes in the chemical composition of M. sinensis were evaluated. The steam explosion coupled with 1% potassium hydroxide and dioxane were better as compared with other treatments based on the removals of acid insoluble lignin, and about 89.0% and 85.4%. Enzymatic hydrolysis of steam explosion with 1% potassium hydroxide and dioxane treated M. sinensis, gave a 98.0% and 96.5% of glucose conversion, respectively. These results suggested that pretreatment of M. sinensis with either potassium hydroxide or dioxane could be a promising pretreatment method for glucose production.

다양한 산업분야의 첨단제품들의 기능향상이나 디자인 등을 위해 알루미늄이나 마그네슘과 같은 가연성 금속의 사용량이 증가하고 있으며, 이러한 금속의 가공공정의 증가로 인한 금속분진이 발생할 가능성이 증가되며 이는 금속분진으로 인한 폭발사고의 증가로 이어지고 있다. 금속분진에 의한 폭발의 경우 고체 및 열분해에 의해 발생된 증기의 혼합 상태에서의 연소라는 점에서 실험적인 해석이 가스폭발이나 증기운 연소에 비해 매우 복잡하기 때문에 국내 외적으로 분진폭발에 대한 연구가 현재로서는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 가연성 금속분진의 폭발에 대한 리스크 분석을 위한 기반구조를 마련하고, 이러한 기반을 토대로 효율적인 분석방법을 제시하기 위해 분진폭발에 대한 폭발이론과 특성에 대하여 정리 및 제시하였으며, 금속성분진 별 폭발특성을 데이터베이스화 하여 분진폭발에 대한 리스크 분석과 연구에 사용할 수 있는 기반을 마련하였다.

For the safety design and operation of many chemical process, it is necessary to know certain explosion limit, flash point and autoignition temperature(AIT) of handling substances. Also it is necessary to know explosion limit at high temperature and pressure. For the safe handling of MEK(methyl ethyl ketone), explosion limit at $25^{\circ}C$ and the temperature dependence of the explosion limits were investigated. And flash point and AIT for MEK were experimented. By using the literatures data, the lower and upper explosion limits of MEK recommended 1.8 vol% and 11.0 vol%, respectively. In this study, measured the lower and upper flash points of MEK were $-5^{\circ}C$ and $22^{\circ}C$, respectively. This study measured relationship between the AITs and the ignition delay times by using ASTM E659-78 apparatus for MEK, and the experimental AIT of MEK was $507^{\circ}C$. The new equations for predicting the temperature dependence of the explosion limits of MEK is proposed. The values calculated by the proposed equations were a good agreement with the literature data.

Appropriate explosion proof electrical equipment should be installed in hazardous areas. In areas where hydrogen is handled, explosion proof electrical equipment adjacent to the hydrogen handing facility must be reviewed for selection of gas group IIC (or IIB+H₂) equipment. When selecting explosion proof electrical equipment for the flammable substance handling facility in areas where hydrogen and flammable substance are handled, the method to avoid gas group IIC (or IIB+H₂) equipment has been suggested by using the operating pressure of the hydrogen handling facility. When the operating pressure of the outdoor hydrogen handling facility is 1.065 MPa or less, it has been confirmed that there is no need to install gas group IIC (or IIB+H₂) equipment for the flammable substance handling facility adjacent to the hydrogen handling facility. And the method of selecting explosion proof electrical equipment for the flammable substance handling facility has been suggested as a flowchart, so it will be able to be utilized when selecting appropriate explosion proof electrical equipment.

In process installations, chemicals operate at high temperature and high pressure. Propylene is used as a basic raw material for manufacturing synthetic materials in the petrochemical industry; However, it is a flammable substance and explosive in the gaseous state. Thus, caution is needed when handling propylene. To prevent explosions, an inert gas, carbon dioxide, was used and the changes in the extent of explosion due to changes in pressure and oxygen concentration at 25 ℃, 100 ℃, and 200 ℃ were measured. At constant temperature, the increase in explosive pressure and the rates of the explosive pressure were observed to rise as the pressure was augmented. Moreover, as the oxygen concentration decreased, the maximum explosive pressure decreased. At 25 ℃ and oxygen concentration of 21%, as the pressure increased from 1.0 barg to 2.5 bar, the gas deflagration index (K_g) increased significantly from 4.71 barg·m/s to 18.83 barg·m/s.
